According to DSP Mrs Annor, as a result of intensive education on domestic violence, most people had been enlightened, especially women to freely report cases at the Unit for redress and for amicable settlement.

“This year, we intend to extend the education to special schools, orphanages and to the remotest areas in the region as we are opening more district offices,” she added.

DSP Mrs Annor lauded the media in the country for their committed role in championing the welfare of the vulnerable in the society.

She however appealed for continuous collaboration with the media to step up the sensitisation activities this year to ensure that domestic violence was reduced to the minimum.
